Kingdom Hearts: SfE Part 2 - The Final Keyhole and the Mark of Mastery

Eden watched Kurix, eating an apple. Noticing another on the plate, she motioned Equius's head towards her. "Eq, take this apple by the stem and give it to the silver one." With a click, the big Chocobo, did so. Carefully, he stepped to show the apple to Riku, lowering it to his plate and swiping away the pear and munching it down as payment before sauntering off back to Master.
Ashir ate very little, staring at Eden. His preferred food were the grapes.

 

Jeffrey took a bite of a pear, enjoying the sweet taste. Riku doesn't like pears, huh? he thought. Just like a certain Time Lord... He chuckled to himself.

 

Riku ate the apple, much more accepting of that despite Valerie's stange giggling. Sora had a peach, laughing a bit since before he had Kisa he was like that peach-sweet and round. Valerie had strawberries, loving the fruit to death if it was possible. Kurix had a Kiwi, not really minding fruit. Roxas had finished, looking to the group. He was kind of hoping he could share a room with Kurix and Ashir, wanting to be around the new Nobodies.

 

After a few hours of growing foods, and their thickness. Eden had finished her meat stew, cleaning up Equius of his beefy feast. Ashir had finished with a lighter fish stew.
Yen Sid entered, staring down everyone. His hat had been locked away for the night. "Your rooms have been assigned. Flora. Fauna. Merryweather. Show them to bed chambers. They will find their rooms."

 

Valerie, Sora, and Kurix let out small sighs of relief, simply stuffed. Riku was holding Kisa, giving a small chuckle. "Alright, this way to the bed chambers!"The three fairies led the way, the group following. "I hope I get a room with Jeffrey! and Kairi or Nami!"Valerie said. "I hope Riku and I stay together...."Sora admitted. Riku nodded. "As long as I'm as far away from Riku as possible, I'm good."Roxas huffed. Kurix couldn't help but laugh at the attitude. Of course, once arriving at the bed chambers they rushed to try and find their rooms.

 

A circular room showing 4 doors. A small podium showed a slip of paper with everyone's names. Eden watched the paper, walking up to the slip and read off the paper. Her anger clearly spiked as flames sparked in her arms.

 

Roxas smirked at Edens anger, checking the paper for himself. He winced at what the paper said, trying to contain his anger. Kurix didn't seem to mind when he read the paper, sticking to Sora and Kisa. Valerie, being the ever-so-curious one, decided to take it and explain it to the others.

Room 1-
Riku, Gexln, Roxas

Room 2-
Eden, Valerie, Ashir(and Chester)

Room 3-
Sora, Kisa, Kurix(and Equius)

Room 4-
Jeffrey, Kairi, Namine

Sora didn't mind that he was with Kurix, having faith in a newly created nobody. Valerie was glad to have Chester with her, the little Heartless being calm and quiet the whole way. But she was definately nervous about Eden. Roxas was definately mad that he had to share a room with Riku. Riku wasn't so peachy keen about sharing a room with Gexln himself, not having much trust since what happened in Australia and on Destiny Islands.

 

Eden glared at Valerie and Ashir, stomping away into the second room. Ashir and Equius followed, only for him to be blocked out by a shield. Yen Sid thought ahead.

 

"Sorry, little guy."Sora saw Equius being held back by the barrier. "Little...?"Kurix looked at the chocobo, doubting Sora's choice of words. Roxas sighed, heading into the first room to get it over with. Riku decided to stay out for alittle longer to wait for Roxas to calm down. Valerie nervously joined Eden and Ashir, Chester following loyally.

 

Eden was staring at Ashir with a hateful look. "This nobody... it's a cruel one. It is not my son. There is no way it could ever even be like that, he was just part of my imagination." she spat at his very ground, and he didn't react. "He is nothing to me."
Equius clicked slowly, staying outside his master's room to keep a guard. From what, he really didn't know or care.

 

"Creation or not, I still want to think of him as my nephew, thank you very much. Nobody or not."Valerie said. Chester went over to Ashir, curious.

"Thats kinda nice, they even got a crib for Kisa."Kurix and Sora had entered their room, Sora setting Kisa down in the crib. "I'm just glad that Yen Sid took it well...of course, he's a wizard. He's probably seen strange things before."He reassured himself. Kurix just nodded, looking over to Kisa.

Riku entered his room only to recieve a death glare from Roxas. "Are you done?"He asked. Roxas huffed, crossing his arms.

 

Eden glared at Valerie, trying to breath away the growing anger. "You think this is your nephew?! It isn't Ashir, and he's just a pencil drawing! Grow up! This is some sort of twisted nobody JOKE that you're choosing to believe!"
Ashir looked at the Wielder, a slight emotion popping onto his face. Fear, and a frowning sadness. "You are mine." he objected. The Wielder quickly shifted her attention to Ashir, raising her hand to him in a great fit of rage.... but could not strike, slowly restraining herself and holding her hand down as the truly frightened nobody fell over.

 

"What is with you and trying to hit people! Control that temper of yours or you'll be not better at anger management than Terra was!"Valerie said. "And so what if he's a nobody? Gexln is a nobody and you trust him completely! What makes any difference that I trust Ashir?"she asked.

 

Eden looked back. Where was this whole hitting thing coming from? Was it her trying to be dramatic? "I... Gexln is different. And Ashir, whatever his intents are, they are cruel. I've had a good nobody I trusted fade from my arms, and a bad nobody use me. I don't know what he will do, and when he goes against me, I'll actually use my fire instead of my palm." she shook from exhaustion and anger. "I am going to sleep. I want you to stop referring to that thing as my imaginary son by morning." She crawled into bed, feet blistered from rocks and heat. She had not found proper shoes to accompany Riku's outfit, so she had been barefoot since her first fire magic.
I've begun to get out of my element. Too much fighting, too much drama. I can't think straight and it's tearing me apart. I gotta sleep this out... she let out a heavy sigh in an attempt to sleep.

 

Valerie gave a small sigh, looking over to Ashir. I really hope she calms down and snaps out of it soon. She's more stubborn and grumpy than Riku is.... She hopped onto the bed, trying to get comfortable.

Sora and Kurix were taking turns with Kisa, Kurix taking the shift so Sora could get a well deserved rest. Of course, he was alittle nervous. He was a new Nobody, he had never been around a baby or even a person. You'll be fine Kurix, she's calm...nothing could go wrong.... Of course, that was stopped by Kisa starting to wail. Or maybe something could....

Riku was fast asleep, Roxas not feeling tired at all just yet. Ugh, why Riku?! Why not leave me with the other nobodies?!

 

Gexln sat down in his room. He looked at Roxas. "So, you're Roxas huh? What makes you so special? Aside from the fact you're the Nobody of a wielder, that is" he asked.

 

Roxas refused to say a word, still grumbling about having to share a room with...well, basically the guy that ruined his life. Sure nobody's didn't really exist- but it still.... hurt the blonde in a way that he was nothing but a pawn to help out the Keyblade wielder.

 

"Well, this is kind of awkward," Jeffrey said. He was sitting on the edge of his bed. Kairi and Naminé had a bunk bend. "Rooming with you two, not being in here," he added.
"Would you rather have a room with Valerie?" Kairi asked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jeffrey replied embarrassed. Kairi couldn't help but giggle.

Naminé was coloring in someone's hair with a dark brown pencil in her sketchbook. It was a picture of a girl and a younger boy, holding hands and smiling. If only it would be that way... she thought.

 

Ashier stayed in a corner, shivering from the massive emotion spike thar occured.
Eden was waiting for Valerie to fall asleep to try to sort herself out.

Equius curled around Kisa, wishing to protect the frail one rather than the other two.

 

Kurix changed Kisa's diaper, seeing Equius get closer. Kisa was calmed down, pure blue eyes not really focusing on anything. She's...kinda cute.... Kurix thought to himself.

Valerie had fallen asleep, snoring gently and using a pillow as a makeshift teddy bear. The girl had fallen asleep on her stomach, but had rolled over to sleeping on her back.

Roxas was laying down, trying to sleep. "uuuugggh...."he gave a small groan. "So how do you know Riku and the others?"He asked towards Gexln.
